Even Most Republicans Support Roe V. Wade

According to a new poll from NBC and The Wall Street Journal, 52 percent of Republicans do not think that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that established a woman’s legal right to get an abortion, should be overturned.

The new poll shows record high support, with an overall 71 percent of Americans in support of the decision. The results of the poll come at a time when abortion rights advocates worry that Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court could bring greater restrictions on abortion rights across the country.
